SA Premiere and Filmmaker Q&A session- A Portrait of Love

For over twenty years, Archibald Prize-winning artist Craig Ruddy and his partner Roberto Meza Mont filmed their life together to share with friends and family.

They documented events big and small, from celebrations and travel to the inner workings of a significant artist, illustrating a vibrant, joyous life that was filled with love.

To tell their story, their friend, documentary-maker Molly Reynolds (My Name is Gulpilil), spent months immersed in Roberto’s footage and crafted her most intimate film to date.

An extraordinary insight into a prolific artist and the relationship that inspired him, the film is a rich and spirited portrait of life, love, and loss that draws you into its open embrace.

"… the love, pride and raw emotion that Mont and Reynolds pour onto the screen makes it resonate.” - Filmink

"It is the potent combination of small, real moments that build to make A Portrait of Love a slow-burning heartbreaker.” - The Queer Review
